What is short-term care?
Short-term care (often called respite care) provides temporary support at home when extra help is needed. It's commonly arranged when the main caregiver needs a break, after a hospital discharge, or during recovery from illness or surgery.
Care can last from a few days to several weeks, depending on your needs. During that time, a professional carer provides the same level of support as long-term care, helping with personal care, meals, medication, and daily routines.
